Previewing The Big Series

Tonights game will be the beginning of a crucial series for the Jays, to say the least. They enter the series only 6.5 games back. Taking 3 of 4 would bring them to 4.5 games back with 12 to go. A sweep would put the Jays 2.5 games back with another 3 gamer against Boston to go. They also have 6 against lowly Baltimore to play. This could get interesting.

David Purcey will look to continue where he left off against Tampa and deliver a solid performance tonight. Tim Wakefield goes for Boston and I'm a little concerned. The knuckler most likely means Snider won't play, maybe not even Lind. I really don't want to Wilkerdingleberry at all, ever. David Ortiz has been having problems with his wrist this season, and it's reported that it may still be a problem, which could limit his power. It may even keep him out of tonights game against the lefty and one of tomorrows games. I doubt he wouldn't play tonight, but the wrist is a tricky thing.

Canadian elert!! To go along with Jason "Hudson's" Bay, George Kottaras was recently called up, a lefty-hitting catcher with some serious power. He porbly won't play, as they allready carry Varitek, David Ross, and ex-jay great Kevin Cash.

A.J. will go on short rest to open the double-header against Jay nemisis Paul Byrd, who has started 40 games against them this season. Should be the Jays to lose the way Burnett has been going.

The Litsch will face off against Horacio Sanz...sorry, Bartolo Colon in the night cap. Bartolo has had an injury riddled season and will probly be on a short leash, especially since it's September and the bullpen is deep. Here's hoping Litsch can be as good as he's been, and take the second double-header sweep in a week.

Sunday's finale pits ace vs ace, as Doc faces Jon Lester. I have nothing bad to say about Lester, except I hate his face. He has overcome some serious health concerns to become a very excellent pitcher. He is not in the same league as Halladay though, and Doc will have something to prove coming off a rough performance to end the streak.

The only game I can picture losing is the opener, and even that is iffy with the unpredicibility of a knukleball.

Go Jays.

The Sox roster has undergone a face-lift since we last saw them against our Jays.

In, are Mark Kotsay (via trade), Chris Carter (NFL Legend), David Ross (FA Signing), George Kottaras (previously mentioned Canadian hero), and a hord of midling relievers.

Jed Lowrie has entrenched himself as the starter at SS, Lowell is back off the DL playing 3rd, and Kotsay is seeing most of the action in RF in Drew's absence.

Here's hoping someone (**cough**youkilis**cough**pedroia**couch**) gets in a pre-game auto accident.

One more thing, fuck the Sawks. Fuck Nomar. Fuck Youkilis' giant melon. And fuck Dustin Pedroia, that rat-looking MVP (Most Vertically-challenged Piss-ant).

Yeah, I'm immature.

Go Rogers Go!!
